Spring special (20th April to 11th May): all rooms £60 per person per night in 2018 (£65 in 2019)

August discount (9th to 31st): all rooms £60 per person per night in 2018 (not available in 2019)

Early August usually sees plenty of Puffins still around and the peak of our Storm Petrel ringing, with more migrant birds appearing as the month progresses, often including some early autumn rarities. August is often the best month for the chance of seeing dolphins and whales offshore, whilst the island's flowers add extra interest.
